Thank you, John.
Indeed, Health Canada had the two concerns that were articulated by Mr. Moffet, notably that the motion could limit Health Canada's ability to assess subpopulation beyond those groups that had been identified by the motion, where new information regarding hazards or exposure may come to light with respect to populations that are more susceptible or highly exposed to harmful chemicals. To reiterate the point made by Mr. Moffet, we heard feedback based on public consultations that some subpopulations would rather not be explicitly classified as vulnerable populations. The current definition that's included in Bill S-5 provides clarity with respect to the scope and breadth of vulnerable populations without citing specific subpopulations, which can be defined through policy and implementation of the act.
